Chapter 13: Public Humiliation
Gu Jin stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the sound of talking and footsteps coming from the stairs, this voice was somewhat familiar, Gu Jin didn't have time to think about it, and saw several people dressed as Confucian students walking up the stairs, one of them, Gu Jin really knew.
"Gu Jin, why are you here!" Wang Yu looked at Gu Jin at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward in a few steps and greeted Gu Jin with a smile.
The corners of Gu Jin's mouth twitched, she went out today just to hide from Wang Yu, but she didn't expect that she couldn't hide, so she met here.
"Ahh I'm here to eat! Gu Jin said.
Dine?
Come to Shiwen for dinner?
Wang Yu subconsciously glanced at the table next to Gu Jin, there was a noodle bowl on the table, the bowl was very clean, and there was not even a green onion left.
"Brother Gu is really as free and easy as ever!" Wang Yu couldn't help laughing.
Wang Yu's laughter was not ridicule, he really thought Gu Jin was interesting, he also knew a little bit about Gu Jin these days, and things like today could really only be done by Gu Jin.
The reason why Wang Yu went to Gu Jin every day was because he admired Gu Jin's medical skills, and secondly, because he felt that Gu Jin was different.
There is something different from ordinary people in Gu Jin, he can't tell what is different, but he just wants to get closer.
Without waiting for the two of them to talk more, a few people who came with Wang Yu also approached at this time, and they also heard what Gu Jin said just now, but they were not as calm as Wang Yu, and several people had strange looks on their faces when they saw the bowl.
"Come on, let me introduce you to you, this is the Gu Jin I mentioned to you. Brother Gu is not only good at medicine, but also talented and brilliant, I admire Brother Gu very much! Wang Yu smiled and pulled Gu Jin to introduce to a few friends.
"Ah, I'm glad to be there, I'm glad to be."
Those people obviously didn't want to have a deep friendship with Gu Jin, but Wang Yu was very enthusiastic to introduce Gu Jin to everyone, and a few people could only greet Gu Jin on Wang Yu's face.
These people are Wang Yu's friends, they all know about Wang Yu's father's illness, and they have indeed heard Wang Yu's name about Gu Jin, they thought that the person who could be favored by Wang Yu must be a romantic person, but today it seems that it is not enough, and what they do is difficult to get into the elegant hall.
Gu Jin wanted to leave with a few polite words, but Wang Yu was like a dog skin plaster, which couldn't be torn apart if it was sticked.
Several of Wang Yu's friends were not on Gu Jin's mind, and a few words of chat with Gu Jin were only perfunctory. Several people found a larger empty table and sat down, Gu Jin just sat down and looked up, but saw the man in purple again, it turned out that this table was the next table of the man in purple, and Gu Jin happened to be sitting opposite him.
Everyone sat down, and the tea and fruit snacks sent by the shopkeeper with a tray were ordered by Wang Yu and the others downstairs just now, and the shopkeeper glanced at Gu Jin too deliberately when he left, obviously he was really impressed by Gu Jin.
"Brother Gu, you left so early today, I went to the inn early in the morning to look for you, but the guy said that you went out just after dawn, so I ran for nothing." Wang Yu pulled Gu Jin warmly, and said with a complaining voice.
Wang Yu's hand pulled Gu Jin's arm, and Gu Jin pulled his hand back vigorously, and then pulled his arm back.
"Ah, someone came to see me in the morning, so I'm really embarrassed to go out in a hurry!" Gu Jin explained perfunctorily.
As soon as Gu Jin finished speaking, he only heard a burst of applause coming over again, and it turned out that the man in white had composed another poem, which caused some praise.
"Who's that man?" Gu Jin asked Wang Yu, she asked this to change the topic, and on the other hand, she was really curious about the identity of the man in white.
"Zuo Hongwen, his father is Zuo Ming, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy." Wang Yu whispered.
Gu Jin raised her eyebrows, she was still a little puzzled, the reputation of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy was indeed not small, but this group of people couldn't be so stammered.
"The chief examiner of this township test is Zuo Mingγγγ" As if seeing Gu Jin's thoughts, Wang Yu added.
Then it's no wonder!
Gu Jin laughed, don't look at this group of showmen who are all proud on weekdays, and this hot stove is also very positive!
Zuo Hongwen was praised by everyone with a proud face, but who knew that when he turned his head, he saw Wang Yu, and the joy on Zuo Hongwen's face disappeared.
He snorted coldly and walked towards Wang Yu.
"It turns out that Brother Wang is here! Why don't you say hello when Brother Wang comes, I've been waiting for you for a while, and if you don't come again, I'll still be if you don't want to see me! Zuo Hongwen said with a smile.
Zuo Hongwen had already walked to Gu Jin's table as he spoke, and several people followed him, hugging Zuo Hongwen Chu in the middle like stars holding the moon.
It was a little far away just now, Gu Jin didn't take a closer look, and at this time, the person had already come closer, and Gu Jin saw this person's appearance clearly.
I saw that this Zuo Hongwen was dressed in a white silk robe with very exquisite workmanship, wearing a moon-white Confucian scarf embroidered with gold silk, his skin was extremely white, his eyes were slightly picked, and his long eyebrows were also clear, but his eyebrows were full of arrogance.
"Brother Li invited him, how dare not come, but there is something delayed, please forgive Brother Li." Wang Yu frowned, he stood up and said with a slight bow.
Today's poetry meeting was run by Zuo Hongwen, Zuo Hongwen specially sent him a post, he didn't plan to come, but he was still pulled by a few of his friends.
Zuo Hongwen didn't return the salute, he raised his chin, and his eyes fell on Gu Jin.
"Brother Wang, who is this? I haven't seen it before, isn't it a distant relative from Brother Wang's family, so I brought it out to see the world? The man in white said with an arrogant expression, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Gu Jin with contempt, revealing a sarcastic smile.
He also saw Gu Jin eating noodles just now, but he felt that Gu Jin was vulgar, so he didn't bother to take care of Gu Jin.
Now Gu Jin is actually sitting with Wang Yu, and he is just taking advantage of Gu Jin to squeeze Wang Yu.
The people who followed Zuo Hongwen also laughed cooperatively, as if Zuo Hongwen had told such a funny joke.
"Brother Li, Gu Jin is my friend, he is also a talent and fame like you and me, it's too rude for you to talk like this!" Wang Yu said angrily.
Wang Yu regretted in his heart, he really shouldn't have come, and he didn't want to cause trouble in his heart, if Zuo Hongwen just insulted himself, he would have endured it, but Zuo Hongwen insulted Gu Jin, he couldn't bear it.
"Hehe, it turns out that this one is also a talent! I really didn't see it, looking at the way I was eating with a bowl of noodles, and I thought it was a rural village man from a poor country! Zuo Hongwen sneered again.
There was another burst of laughter, and even a few people laughed back and forth, as if they had never encountered such a funny thing in their eight hundred lives.
